Bound with chain that knows parting,
Fast is the fetter that to me clings.
It's aband of iron around me, namely
My own dear mothers apron strings.
Oh It's sad! l yet wailing
A tear unbid to my eyeiid springs
That man like me should be held prisoner,
Tied to his mothers apron strings.
But who shall break these cords asunder
Who will unlink these golden rings
That bind me to a loving mother,

Who has protection for a strangerl
Whose heart goes out, but the King of kings;
With greater love for us at parting!
God bless her and the apron strings.

This is the ferry tor Shadowtown;

Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest. little head, on my shoulder so;
sleepy kiss is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and in the rocking-chair.
See where the fre-logs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights of the Shadowland;
The winter rain on the window-hark
Are ripples tapping upon its strand.
There, where the mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and still;
Blossoms waving above its brim-
Those over there on the window-sill
Rock slow more slow in the dusky light;
Silently lower the anchor down.
Dear little passenger, say Goodnight"
We've reached the harbor of Shadowtown.

Inc Lark'S Dream.
suggested by Hearing One Singing After Nightfall
What does the lark dream. i the night
Nestled in the fresh. sweet grass,
Where the spring flowers. blue and white,
Tremble to the hurried flight
Of faeries as they passl
What does the lark dream, nestled there,
Her brown wings at rest
By wind-fower, tall and fair
Dainty sentry, debonair,
Guardian of her breast2
What does the lark dream who shall tell9
For who shall read her hearth
Is't Nab. the princess of the DELL
Or Puck, who weaves the eerie spell,
The secret shall imparts
Perhaps she hears her unknown mate
Loud call above the dewy downs;
And her sweet answering notes relate
Loves power. which rules low heart and great,
Till all the air resounds.
Perhaps she dreams that summers feet
Gold-sandled, softly fall;
And low above the full, ripe wheat
She hears her fedgling's weak wings beat
In answer to her call.
Perhaps her bird-soul rends the veil
That shrouds mans earthly days;
And far, where his weak visions fail,
The mystery of her dreams prevail,
And sing her Makers praise.
Dream on. lark! thy evening song
Bids me not fear
LIES pathway, tho the the night be long,
Yet heed warning to be strong
From One I only hear.
